Chiang Kai-shek has his own thirteen Taibao is very famous, in fact, the great warlords at that time all had their own thirteen Taibao, such as Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, of which Feng Yuxiang's thirteen Taibao personality has the most different future, such as the nest of han Fuyu, the great traitor Shi Yousan, and so on, but there is one person who is definitely a veritable anti-Japanese hero, this person is Sun Lianzhong.
Sun Lianzhong joined the Beiyang Army after the Xinhai Revolution, and at first he was only the squad leader of the artillery squad under Feng Yuxiang, because in the War of Defending the Country and Seeking Yuan, a person carried a 238-kilogram mountain cannon and made a great contribution, so he was promoted to the second rank after the war and became a company commander.
After that, Sun Lianzhong experienced the Zhifeng War, the Northern Expedition War and the Central Plains War, and gradually rose from the position of company commander to the position of military commander, because his battle achievements were really broken out of the rain of bullets and bullets, so Feng Yuxiang admired him very much and regarded him as his most effective cadre.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Sun Lianzhong was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Army and commander of the First Army, and successive battles fought with the Japanese Riverside Brigade, the Banyuan Division, and the Chuan'an Division, and the continuous battle caused Sun Lianzhong's troops to suffer heavy losses, but when his subordinates applied for a temporary rest in the rear, Sun Lianzhong only said one word: Whoever dares to retreat will shoot and kill.
What really made Sun Lianzhong famous in the first battle was the Battle of Taierzhuang. At that time, it was Sun Lianzhong's 31st Division that was in charge of guarding the northeast corner of Taierzhuang, and at the worst time of the war, two-thirds of Taierzhuang's land was occupied by the Japanese army, and the 31st Division suffered more than 70% casualties.
However, Li Zongren and Sun Lianzhong successively ordered them to hold Taierzhuang and use their flesh and blood to stop the pace of the Japanese attack. At that time, Sun Lianzhong said to the commander of the 31st Division, "When the troops are finished fighting, you will fill it in, and if you are knocked out, I will fill it in, and the city is in the people, and the city is dead. At this time, the 31st Division had run out of ammunition, so the commander of the 7th Company formed a death squad of only 57 of his troops, armed with large knives and grenades around his waist, and rushed towards the enemy position.
It was the desperate struggle of Sun Lianzhong's troops that successfully held out until the reinforcements arrived, and finally completed the encirclement of the Japanese army, thus achieving a great victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang. The significance of taierzhuang's great victory had a far-reaching impact on the entire anti-Japanese pattern, so Chiang Kai-shek specially sent a special plane to take Sun Lianzhong back and praised him as the backbone of the nation.
After that, Sun Lianzhong took part in the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Zaoyi, the Battle of Western Hubei and other battles without stopping, and he repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, saying that he was the most capable of Fighting in Feng Yuxiang's Thirteen Taibao and made the most achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield.
In 1990, sun Lianzhong died of illness at the age of 97 and died well.
